But, when I set job-page-limit and job-quota-period with CUPS, it
doesn't restrict printing once quota is reached. I am able to limit
printing, i.e set quota based on job-k-limit, but not page-based. I even
tried setting all the three parameters for quota, but it still doesn't
count pages, and always shows "1 1" for each job in page_log. 

FYI: I am using cups-samba drivers for Windows provided on CUPS website,
which are claimed to do page accounting correctly.

Any suggestion as to why page-count based quota not working with
CUPS-1.1.19?
